About
I’m a guitarist and teacher residing in the Triangle area. I completed my Masters of Music in Classical Guitar Performance (ECU, 2015) and have since been living in Raleigh, NC. I developed a strong interest in bluegrass and old-time music shortly before moving to Raleigh, and am now active in the Triangle’s traditional music scene.
I teach private guitar lessons to students of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in classical guitar and flatpicking (bluegrass/old-time/country), and can teach beginner to advanced lessons in those styles. For other styles of guitar, I can teach students up to the intermediate level. Lessons in music theory and improvisation are also available.
Thanks for your interest!

I have a Master's of Music in Classical Guitar Performance, and over ten years of teaching and performance experience
How did you get started teaching?
Out of a local music store while I was in college
